Description: An older man who does not wear sleeves and tends to eschew shirts when he can avoid it, he is not a threatening figure. He has a long chestnut beard with little hanging trinkets. He wears a mask on his face.

Personality: He is erratic and paranoid. He believes drow are coming to abduct people. He cannot deal with unfamiliar people for more than a few minutes at a time and if they persist he will grow angry at them.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. He found a children's book about a Halfling Barbarian who fought for good and justice and never realised it was just a child's story. He modeled his life after the story, seeing himself destined a hero. During his travels, Thorpe and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Thorpe discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Thorpe fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.

Motivation: Obtaining odd cultural Halfling artifacts is his passion; and he made a deal with a demon which lead to his current lot in life, and he's becoming increasingly nervous about it
